Personality

Tobias is fiercely independent and does not relay on Taro or his family for anything. Strong willed and often grouchy, he required a steady hand and a trusting relationship. After the disappearance of his old master, Jiva, it took him a long time to trust Jiva's less experienced son.

Skills & Abilities

  • His ability to strike is uniquely powerful despite his small size compared to females of his species and deathly accurate. He is excellent at weaving between trees and blinding deer.

Likes & Dislikes

  • Soaring overhead and hunting.
  • Preening himself and pulling fur from rabbits.

History

  • Tobias was originally owned and trained by Jiva Takekuro, Taro's father and when Jiva disappeared, he was left unattended for many months.
  • After Taro learned to shift, he asked his mother for permission to train Tobias and was given permission.
  • The past two years, they have worked together tirelessly and are now close friends.
